Top 15 TV Shows to Watch This Summer in Los Angeles

If high gas prices are putting a damper on your summer road trip plans, fear not! This year’s lineup of TV shows is here to whisk you away to far-off destinations, both real and imaginary, at a fraction of the cost. From the American frontier, to 1930s New York, to the mountains of Europe, and even to worlds filled with dragons, superheroes, airbenders, and pro athletes, there’s something for everyone this summer.

First up, Apple TV’s “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed” premieres on May 20. Starring the talented Tatiana Maslany from “Orphan Black” and “She-Hulk,” this series follows the story of Paula, a soccer mom and magazine fact-checker going through a messy divorce. When she witnesses a brutal attack during an online chat session, Paula sets out to uncover the truth behind it, leading her on a dangerous journey involving criminals and the NYPD. With Maslany’s signature messy yet captivating performance, “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed” promises to be a darkly humorous and emotionally gripping thriller.

Next, on May 25 on MGM+ and May 27 on Prime Video, catch “Spider-Noir.” Featuring Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly, this series brings a fresh take on comic book adaptations, promising a more satisfying experience than many of their big-screen counterparts.
